Tasburgh Iron Age or Danish Camp, Norfolk

A classic 'bump in the field' shot!

This is the bank of Tasburgh Camp north of the River Tas in South Norfolk.

It is often said the be one of the Iceni Camps from the late Iron Age (like Wareham), but little evidence of occupation of that period has been found in the excavation.

More likely it was a winter camp for part of the Heathen Danish Army under Ivar the Boneless and Ubbe Ragnarsson that stormed through the Kingdom of East Anglia in 869 and executed King Edmund at Haegelisdun.
